Broken Wings
Words & Music by Chris de Burgh
Intro: EsusEsus
A augmentedA
These broken wings can take me no further
EsusEsus
I'm lost, and out at sea,
E/G#
I thought these wings would hold me forever
G#G#
And on to eternity,
E MajorE
And far away I can hear your voice,
BsusBsus
I can hear it in the silence of the morning,
A augmentedA
But these broken wings have let me down
EsusEsus
They can�t even carry me home.
In broken dreams that keep me from sleeping
I remember all the things I said,
Well I've broken all the promises
I said I would be keeping,
They're gone, like leaves they fell,
For it's so hard when you�re far away,
All I needed was a shoulder I could cry on,
Now these broken dreams have woken me,
My love, will you carry me home.
BB
Or will you treat me like some traveller
E MajorE
On a dark and lonely road,
BB
Who sees a light and a woman who will give him love,
F# minorF#m
Oh and just when she reaches the part
A augmentedA
When she's supposed to comfort his broken heart
F# minorF#m
She turns away, and sends him travelling on, on.
Oh when I left I believed that nothing would go wrong
I thought the whole world would be waiting for my story,
Take me back, my love, I need you now,
Come back and carry me home,
A augmentedA
Take me back and heal these broken wings,
E MajorE
Come back and carry me home.
